Wiltshire dairy company Coombe Castle has reported a surge in global demand as grants support its production line.
The Melksham-based dairy was established in 1980 and exports its products to countries including Japan, Canada, USA and Hong Kong. It recently received support from Business West's membership team, in the form of a £300,000 grant from both DEFRA and the Rural Payments Agency to support the transformation of its processing plant.
This has given the company, which was recognised in this year's King's Awards for Enterprise, the opportunity to purchase equipment and assist with increasing the volumes of cream it can process. Coombe Castle has increased its production by 20% since 2021 and sales have increased in the last year by 16%.
